Im from California, been a fan since 72..I remember watching the Celtics destroy the Lakers over and over again.Cowens was my early hero. I said, this is the team for me! The Lakers had Chamberlain, West, Riley, and other stars, but could not win the big enchilada.Loving the Celtics ever since! I hope to see a live game in Boston soon.Whats your baptism to the Green Side? I have the NBA tv for the games and try to go local in Sacramento or Golden State to watch the C's when they come out west.

Ever hear of Lou Tsioropoulos, Togo Palazzi, Jack Nichols, and Dick Hemric, and the original 6th man, Frank Ramsey? These were the guys off the bench that Red used to wear down opponents when I first began following the Celtics of Cousy, Heinsohn, Sharman, "Jungle" Jim Loscutoff and Russell.

Now, 50 some-odd-years later, via Direct TV's NBA package, I get to watch all the games from my own private 'sanctuary' down here in Florida. (the retribates from the neighborhood who come over to watch the games for free and drink my beer call it my 'sanitarium'.) They can call it what they want, but around here "Green rules!"
